Just wondering ... any ideas ???

Chris · 10-20-2006, 09:53 AM

how easy it was to view the videos
before people had to wait for window media play or quicktime
but they got out to the masses a flash basedplayer so people didnt have to deal with downloading the videos or waiting for the stream to load

We have myspace for a social network.

50 million dollars from paypal invested into your project, you would make it big too ;)

even with 50 million you need to know what to do...
My question is not how much it cost , but what were the key factors that made them unique.

thanks

this is a general truth, and as long as every sucess is related to being in the right place at the right time , it does not explain the uniqueness of the concept. Please do not take me wrong - I am not here to cheer youtube. I just want to read your openion , as I think you might through some light on this phenomena

thanks
